In the Digital Content Monitization Global newsletter last week Nicholas Lovell, writer of the Gamesbrief blog, explained how civil unrest in the Middle East demonstrates the impossibility of controlling the flow of information over the internet. While the metaphor was extreme, the point raised was clear – monetizing content online and on mobile should be about enabling the audience to interact with the content in a way which supports both their needs and content owners’ monetization objectives.
There’s no easy solution to this challenge. While some of the new, disruptive players in the market are growing rapidly, it can be hard to know how best to use assets to ensure established companies match that online success.
One way 100s of media and content owners have found solutions is at DCM events. DCM West, taking place in LA on June 21-22, focuses on how the industry is generating online and mobile profits. Established players, start-ups and key stakeholders will speak about the successes they’ve had in engaging customers and communities online. It’s a forum where senior executives from the biggest content owners in the world come to share ideas about reducing costs and building compelling digital propositions.
Denise Parkinson, Entertainment Director, Yahoo!, said of the last DCM event which took place in London, January 2011 “DCM is an essential conference to attend if you are operating in the present world as it – the digital age is now. DCM connected me to both the leading and established global players in this marketplace as well as the cutting edge companies of the future. The information, insight and contacts I gained are absolutely invaluable”
The innovative conference and exhibition combines, for the first time, the specialist areas of News, Movies, TV, Sports, KidContent, Publishing, Games and Music, within a framework that reflects leading-edge thinking and the latest case study examples.

• Marc Siry, SVP Digital products & Services, NBC Universal

Susan Perkins, a speaker at the marcus evans Industrial Design Summit 2010, discusses her strategies for designing products that are culturally sensitive and successful.
Interview with: Susan Perkins, Vice President – Global Design, Tupperware
Cannes, France, September 27, 2010- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Loyalty can be achieved if you care about the people who buy your products and strive to make their life a little bit easier, says Susan Perkins, Vice President – Global Design at Tupperware. Products that are relevant, serviceable and lasting are able to cross borders, but to ensure global success, cultural awareness needs to be injected into the product design process. The recipient of the 2009 Design Team of the Year Award and a speaker at the marcus evans Industrial Design Summit 2010, taking place in Cannes, France, 22 – 24 November, Perkins shares her vision of culturally sensitive and diverse teams who create products that serve a purpose, have an emotional impact on people and create brand loyalty.
Why is cultural awareness in the design process important and how can it be incorporated?
Susan Perkins: Cultural awareness is required to create products that solve real problems and add value to people’s lives. Different cultures share different values, behaviors and approaches to life. It is not a world where one size fits all. Designers who are culturally sensitive to these differences will be able to create solutions to problems. At Tupperware we have offices in almost 100 different countries, with food customs and cultures varying within their borders.M
To incorporate cultural awareness into the design process, first you have to realize or believe that it is important. We continue to focus on building a design team with diverse backgrounds, and see value in designers experiencing different cultures through regular travel, thus getting exposed to the real differences in the way people live. It is one thing to talk or read about it, but the real way to understand it is to be immersed in it.
What makes a product a global phenomenon?
Susan Perkins: For Tupperware, a product that is a global phenomenon is relevant, serviceable and lasting. Relevant products affect people; they have an emotional or cognitive impact on them. A serviceable product is able to serve a purpose. Finally a lasting product should do just that last without change; it should have the ability to stand up to the test of time. If you can do all three consecutively and successfully, the product will be able to cross borders.
How can one achieve product or brand loyalty?
Susan Perkins: A brand needs to engage people, not just sell to them. Loyalty comes when you really care about the people that buy your products and you strive to create something that makes their life a little bit better. People are loyal to brands that are loyal to them.
What are some of the upcoming developments that product design and development executives should prepare for?
Susan Perkins: The world, how we view one another and the perception of what really defines happiness are shifting. Humanity has long viewed the pursuit of progress as going hand in hand with the pursuit of happiness, but people are now beginning to question this connection. Bhutan does not measure GNP but rather gross national happiness. Positive psychology is the most popular course at Harvard. As people explore the pursuit of happiness they will look to build relationships with brands that connect, engage and care about them and the planet.
People will look for those corporations that are interested in providing goods and services that truly do assist them. They want people to really understand who they are, how they live, what they need and what makes them happy, and integrate what they are offering into their lives. I think this is a different way of approaching product development.

DUBAI A growing percentage of toys imported into Dubai remains within the country for local consumption, as re-export of toys in the GCC dropped continuously during the last two years, according to Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organizers of the Middle East Toy Fair.
The latest figures available from the Dubai Port has shown that more imported toys remained in the country during the three-year period under review from 2005 to 2008, as the amount of re-exported toys declined during the period, said Ms. Elisabeth Brehl, Managing Director of Epoc Messe Frankfurt, organizers of the Middle East Toy Fair.
The GCC toy market relies heavily on imports as there is hardly any regional production of toys. With most of the worldwide production facilities for toys in Asia, the majority of toys are shipped from that region. However, 7% are imported directly from Europe and 3% from the US and Canada.
Ms. Brehl added that the import of toys to Dubai has grown over 16% in 2007. Re-exported toys in 2007 equated to a value of over AED 334 million. This figure emphasizes the role of Dubai as a distribution hub in the region. In the past years, the city has established itself as the central logistic and trading hub for the Middle East region because of the relatively simple import and re-exports procedures at the Dubai Ports. Countries like Iraq or Libya, which are difficult to reach directly for manufacturers, are served from Dubai through various distributors, exporters and other trading companies.
The increased demand for toys and baby accessories are an indicator of the increased population and favorable demographics in the United Arab Emirates.
According to the latest available figures compiled by the Dubai Port, in 2006 and 2007, the toy imports were valued at AED 518 million and AED 603 million respectively, indicating an increase of 7%. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, the re-exports were valued at AED 348 million, AED 339 million, and AED 334 million respectively; or a decline in the value by 2.65% (2005) and1.3%(2006).
Dubai’s top 12 major re-export destinations in the GCC, CIS and African countries, in this order of importance are – Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Libya, Pakistan, Armenia, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, and Sudan. While the top countries exporting toys, and baby accessories to Dubai are China, European Countries, US and Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
In view of the increase in toy imports in this country, the international exhibitors wishing to tap the growing economy of this region stand to gain. Ms. Brehl said The GCC and the Gulf countries are slightly affected by the economic downturn, but its growing young population ensures that there will be continuing growth and demand for toys, baby accessories and school stationery.
These past few years there have been concerns about unsafe toys manufactured in Asia. The issue of toy safety and age appropriate toys was emphasized by members of the Toy Industry Association (U.S.) during the Middle East Toy Fair exhibition; as well as the continued presence of the Dubai Municipality.
The Middle East Toy Fair is the region’s biggest trade exhibition for toys, baby and infant products, stationery and back-to-school products, games, hobbies, gifts, apparel and licensing. The specific areas will give visitors and exhibitors a place to source products and build new business relationships.
It is a unique platform for exhibitors to network with one another and meet major buyers, key industry players, and educators involved in the shaping of the Middle East toy market.
